The reasons for this arrangement are that Singer was the one who acted as negotiator for Call of Duty's 10-year deal on Nintendo platforms. the convocation took place on March 29 passed when the deadline was the 3rd of this month, a hell of a maneuver imagined by the legal team of the big N who would have contented themselves with asking for the name of the person to be cited on the 16th of this month.
The FTC is eager for information about Nintendo's deal with Microsoft with a clear intention not to disadvantage Sony, which openly opposed the acquisition and even rejected deals that would be entirely profitable to approve the purchase. In the past, the agency has come out openly against these deals, saying "Microsoft used them as a defense to show internal documents relevant to these deals."
